Greetings! Since many of you are planning summer Harry Potter parties, I
thought you might like the following website where you can download Harry
Potter/wizard fonts.

The parents think that the library staff are responsible for whatever
happened to their children. Also some parents think that since it is a
library, just like school it is safe. How could it be safe? The
keyword
is public and anyone
could come into the library. No where is safe. I don't have any
children. If I did I could never let them out of my sight where ever I
take them. Did you hear that the parents are suing the NJ public
library?

Here at Fort Vancouver Regional Library District in Vancouver, Wa, we charge
for very little, since we feel the publlic has already paid for the service
through their taxes. We don't charge for programming or services, no
overdo
charges, no charges for lost cards, free mailing for holds, and the only non
resident fees are for people who live in an area that has no tax base to
support any library services at all. We do charge for lost or damaged
books. It sure makes it easy for people who work here!

I am sure we all have our horror stories about adults leaving young
children at the library. We, too, recently reworked our unattended
child policy. We decided that children 12 and under cannot be left
unattended in the children's department, and that children under that
age MUST be accompanied by a responsible caregiver no younger
than 14. This last clause we added because folks would leave the
five year old "looking after" the baby or toddler as they "just
dashed
down" to grab a book from the adult section or use the Internet "for a
second." They would argue that the child was, indeed, attended. We
all know how it goes when a young sibling is watching an even
younger one--either they are inattentive, or resentful and not very
kind, or the younger one does not feel compelled to obey the older
one.
My worst horror story took place the first summer I worked at my
current library. Not nearly as horrible as the boy from NJ, thank
goodness! We had already spoken to the father of three young kids
who was leaving them here routinely for hours. Sometimes he was
in the library. As we found out, sometimes he was not. At that point
in time, ten was the youngest an "unattended" child could be
according to our policy. He begrudgingly stopped leaving the
youngest boy. One day, minutes after we opened, the middle boy
came out of the restroom and stated, "Boy, I made it just in time!"
I
jokingly asked him if he was late for a very important date. He said,
"No, I just threw up." I told him we had better go find his dad.
He
stated that his dad knew he was sick, that he was not in the library,
and was not coming back until 5:00 p.m, and there was no way to
contact him as there was no phone at home and no cell phone. I
was aghast, as you can well imagine.
Indeed, the poor kid hung out here all day with only the water
fountain for liquids, and no food that I could see, no place to lie
down, nothing. Dad finally showed up, and when I told him his son
was ill, he said, "Yeah, I knew. I figured he would feel better in
your
air conditioning than at home with none." Granted, we were having a
rare stretch of 100+ degree weather and our huge forest fires at that
time, but still. I told Dad that if he was going to leave his son like
that, he really needed to discuss safety issues with him--don't talk to
anyone without a library nametag, use only the bathroom in the kids
department, etc. He was quite appalled that I would even suggest
that he discuss such issues. He did not, after all, want to SCARE
the poor kid!
Fortuitously enough, a few days later we had a mentally unstable
man exposing himself in the adult nonfiction--800's, interestingly
enough--and Dad was here when the police came to escort him
away. He asked me what was going on, and I told him. Normally, I
would have downplayed the event to a patron, but I was very blunt.
He finally got the point!

Thanks to all who sent ideas for our Redwall program.We ended up playing
Bingo, making a shield, doing a Redwall mad-lib, and of course we feasted on
grapes, cookies, fish crackers, and Summer Cordial (orange pop in a punch
bowl
with a fancy ice ring with fruit slices inside it.)We also made word
scrambles
and puzzles for those who finished their craft early, and to take home.
Here are the ideas sent to me:
Our library had a Redwall book club which was great fun! The book club
spanned about 14 months because we read every single book.
Some of the fun things we did were to do word scrambles, questions from
the books, and we also did Redwall Mad-Libs a couple of times. For the
quizzes and questions I would recommend the following titles: Redwall Map
(ISBN 0399232486, $8) and Redwall Friend and Foe (ISBN 0399235892,
$8)...these books are little paperbacks with questions, character
summaries and a huge poster/map that you can remove and hang up. We also
has a Redwall feast day where everyone was supposed to bring a Redwall
dish. The following websites have links to some "Redwall" recipes:
<http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/redwall/recipe.html>
<http://www.redwall.net/kitchen/>
There are also crossword puzzles on the official Redwall website
(www.redwall.org <http://www.redwall.org>)
which cover different books and
vary in difficulty.
Hi - I am printing out bingo cards for our next meeting as we 'speak.'
If you go to Redwall.net there is a recipe link. There is a great
encyclopedia
online at Redwall.org and it gives you lots of names and information to make
crosswords and bingo, etc.
We have food at every meeting; you can use the recipes online or make up
your
own adaptations. We've had Strawberry Fizz and Shrew Beer which the kids
really enjoyed. We usually have scones and other cake-type recipes named
after
Redwall components.
We have made small swords ( 'dirks' From Outcast) with cardboard and then
painted them silver and gold and glued on fake jewels. They loved them and
they dried in time to take them home.
We are making a Redwall game but this will take months. I have made up the
crosswords on puzzlemaker.com using lots of the definitions from the
encyclopedia. You can make word searches, etc. It is simple. I am making
bingo
cards from this link:
<http://teachers.teach-nology.com/web_tools/materials/bingo/>
We meet for 1-3/4 hrs each month; we have a book discussion and then games
or
crafts and food. Just the crosswords, bingo and craft and food will take up
your hour. It is so much fun; the kids are so enthused. (We have 15 members
and choose one book per month; we have a pretty involved discussion - at
least
8 kids take on 'jobs' for the next meeting (discussion direction; literary
luminary; illustrator; vocabulary enricher; chef; travel tracer; connector,
etc.) and we choose a book for the next meeting by drawing.
You can copy any of the jpeg from Redwall.org and use them for your
illustrations - posters, etc.
Have fun!
Have you checked to see if PBS has a Redwall page on their kids section.
There
is a Redwall show that is on our local PBS station at 7:00 on Saturdays.
Thanks again for all your ideas!

We are a small library, so this may not work for bigger systems, but we do
one of three things, either just look the child up and verify this is the
right child and check them out manually (which would not work for the
original poster), or we actually hold the library card for the child so that
they will have the card in the library (works for our small library, but I
can see it being a HUGE problem for larger systems), or we issue a duplicate
card for the child and put a note in the system that ONLY the child may
check out on the card, so there can be no nasty tricks of checking out
materials and not returning them by the spurned spouse.

Re: holiday books. We used to have our holiday books interfiled, but the
picture book shelves were so overcrowded that we decided to pull all holiday
books and put them in a different place. We pulled 4 old wooden bookcases
out of storage, put them in a corner of the picture book room and named it
'Special collection'. We had to change the agencies in the computer to
designate this so patrons would know where to find the books. We separated
them according to holiday (they have the appropriate sticker) and it works
out very well. When we want to do a display, we can just grab the ones we
want without searching through all the collection and it has turned out to
be a cosy little corner. Lots of children love reading holiday books
year-round!

as easy as it would be for me to rant on this topic
i'm afraid i do not have the time or the energy (it is
106 degrees here today!) so i will simply direct you
to what the Office of Intellectual Freedom (ALA) says
about this...i think they put it quite nicely
actually:
"The idea of labeling presupposes the existence of
individuals or groups with wisdom to determine by
authority what is good or bad for the citizen. It
presupposes that individuals must be directed in
making up their minds about the ideas they examine.
But Americans do not need others to do their thinking
for them."

Hi all~
The only reaction I have heard so far is from my son (21 years old): =

I have also finished reading the book. I really enjoyed it, but I can't =

i don't know. i suppose to each his own. i just
finished if myself this morning and i thought it was
one of the best yet. i did have a hard time getting
into it though because it was so dark and moody. most
of the people i've talked to who have finished it
enjoyed it but most are adults. maybe they shouldn't
have read it so fast. the only reason i rushed through
it was because i'm doing an hp program tomorrow. but
it was rather like eating your dessert too fast: it
was good, but at the end i was upset there wasn't
more. i keep telling people to slow down and enjoy
it--after all it may be several years before #6.

Apologies to those getting this twice, through LM-Net as well. I'm looking
for a book read "many, many years ago" with the refrain "somebody
nobody
somebody came." It's about two orphans whose grandfather lives in the
woods
and has a magic egg that lets them visit other worlds.
Please send replies directly to me off-list. Many thanks.

Have any of you been receiving disappointed reactions to the latest Harry

The majority that I am hearing from liked, some I don't think really read
it, but liked it because they felt they should. I did read it. I
think
your niece and nephew didn't like it as it is really not at all light this
time. Even the opening, which in the past was a humorous event with
the
Dursleys, is not funny. She has most decidedly moved from preteen to teen.
I did like it.

Hilden: A Recent Supreme Court Decision Allowing the Government to
Force Public Libraries to Filter Users' Internet Access Is Less
Significant Than It Might At First Appear
http://writ.news.findlaw.com/hilden/20030701.html
"At first glance, the American Library Ass'n decision appears to be a
major defeat for free speech, for it means the filters will stay in
place - with the blessing of two-thirds of the Supreme Court. It also
might seem to be a repudiation of the longstanding "unconstitutional
conditions" doctrine - which holds that Congress can't force the states
to violate rights in order to get funds.
But closer inspection reveals that in fact, the decision is relatively
limited. In part for that reason, it is probably not a good predictor of
what the Court will do in future First Amendment cases.
Moreover, closely read, the various opinions in the case do not
actually abolish the unconstitutional conditions doctrine. At most, they
suggest that the Court may someday adopt a more modified, moderate
version of it."

Many thanks to all those who have replied to my question about the boy
who
falls down a hole, and is befriended by some type of rodent/mammal
thing. Many
have suggested that the answer is "Incident at Hawk's Hill" by Allan
Eckert. I have not been able to get ahold of the patron, but feel
confident that this is the title.
Thanks so much for all the help!!
